From end of July until mid August we usually offer Bed&Breakfast only for guests who also feel like joining us now and then to the Filmfestival in Locarno. In this time I do not rent the whole house exclusively, but you can get a room and share the rest of the house.

Holiday house for normally 2-5 Persons, with a living room and two bedrooms, one with a large bed and the other with a large and a small bed (there are also a few collapsable beds), bathroom and kitchen. A dog will be counted like one extra person.

In the rooms there are carpets and curtains. There were already some allergic persons who did not rent the house because of that.

In winter it is not very easy to heat the house. There is an electrical storage heater and electric heaters in the rooms. If you make a fire in the wood stove then the living room gets nice and warm. In summer there is no need for heating, then we rather close the window shutters to avoid the house getting too hot. The near creek brings always some fresh air, and to cool down we jump every now and then into the natural pool at the waterfall.

Depending on the season you can find various fruits in the garden: cherries, figs, peaches, grapes, chestnuts (near the waterfall), nisples, and kakis. There are many palms and their seeds grow like weed. We also try growing vegetables. Last year we were very lucky with beans and pumpkins. Our flowers are mainly roses and camelias.

The holiday house is 5 minutes walking distance from the bus line Bellinzona-Locarno. At the border of the village, in the vine fields, near the waterfall, where some people are taking a bath all year round (search for zapfigbaden). One can drive nearby, but only for unloading. Public parking is about 200 meters away. We prefer guests, who travel with public transport, like ourselves.

Gudo is a totally normal villige of the Ticino region. Allmost no shopping possibilities, but a few friendly restaurants. In the nearby towns Bellinzona and Locarno is more action. There is a good bus connection to go there, even until late in the evening.

No TV. There is however a PC with a few beautiful, old movies. People with a portable computer, can go for a walk through the village or to the playground and should find a few open wireless Internet connections.

For waste we use orange plastic bags that can be bought and that include the taxes. In the village there is a place to recycle PET plastic bottles, glass, metal and batteries. The rests from the kitchen we give to the chicken or we throw them on the compost.

Even if this house is still in the village it is surrounded by nature and you may encounter everything that somebody hiking in the area may encounter: spiders, scorpions (not really dangerous), snakes (mostly not poisonous, exept after havy rains), ants (sometimes they walk into the house), little lizards (they are cute), glow worms (sometimes lots of them), slugs (we hate them), and at night some wild animal might shit on our footpath (in German they call it Losung).
